Charlie Papavizas New Book Journey to the Jones Act Featured in TradeWinds
Winston & Strawn partner Charlie Papavizas was featured in a recent TradeWinds article highlighting his new book Journey to the Jones Act—U.S. Merchant Marine Policy 1776-1920. The Jones Act is known for reserving domestic trades to ships that are built at a domestic shipyard, crewed by Americans, controlled by a U.S. company, and fly the U.S. flag, but in his book, Charlie argues that what the law is known for today is not what its namesake, Senator Wesley Jones, was focused on when he shepherded the Merchant Marine Act, 1920 through Congress. After researching the 144 years of American history leading up to the law’s passage, Charlie explains that the Merchant Marine Act, 1920, was intended to pave the way for selling off a massive government-controlled fleet of cargo ships built for World War I and to maintain a substantial U.S. presence on the world’s oceans. The Merchant Marine Act was the culmination of 144 years of merchant marine policy ideas.
